not mine but sounds good....Yesterday while at the track I realized how to properly use the gas and front brake to stay in the rut. I've always heard about using the front brake but was never able to really figure out when to use it in a rutted corner. So I thought I would try to explain it better for those out there still struggling like I was.
First off, you have to be able to at least get in the rut and be able to somewhat going through there smoothly. You should be rolling on the gas the entire time. If you start to fall too much to the inside (lowside) you get on the gas more aggressively and the acceleration will stand the bike back up. If you do not lean enough and the bike starts standing up (highside) you can touch the front brake and it will lean the bike back down.
Again, you roll on the gas the entire time and never back off. This is why you need to be able to be somewhat decent at at least getting through them. I look at this technique sort of like a balancing act to keep the bike on the perfect angle while you are leaning over and going through the rut. Hope this helps.
Also be sure to keep your foot up as high as possible. Always keep it next to the middle of the radiators or higher and often times you may even need to stick your leg in the gap between the handlebars and the radiator shroud up by the triple clamps.
This allows you to go through the rut as fast as possible and lean over as much as need without interference from your foot touching the ground. If your foot is hovering right above the ground you will often unconciously not lean much at all.
